Prayer to Kybele

Meter Theon, Phrygiana, Thundering drums and clashing cymbals announce Your arrival. Clamorous, joyous noise enwraps You, a golden pall of frenzied delight. Pleased are You with the sounds of laughter, of flutes, of footfalls. Kybele, Most High, Blessed Idaean Mother, Your lion-led chariot laden with flowers, I sing Your names, I bow to Your radiant face. Hear my words, and be gladdened by them!

Poem - The Tears of My Lady

The Tears of My Lady fall hard; My world is engulfed with rains. Fresh as spring breezes, slick as mud, All is drenched, all is covered. She weeps, She sobs, for Her Brother, for all people. None know the mysteries of Grief and Despair so well as my Lady does. The beating of Her chest, the shrieking sobs that rack Her body, The dirt and dust She throws in Her face in absolute submission to the mysteries. There is nothing to be done. As my world is engulfed with rains, The Tears of My Lady fall hard.
